ABOUT THE CHURCH

Trinity Christian Reformed Church is a vibrant, Christ-centered community shaped by God’s love and a passion for service. Believing that full devotion to Christ is the calling of every believer, Trinity offers age-appropriate discipleship opportunities for spiritual growth and leadership development. Worship is intergenerational and rooted in Scripture, the Sacraments, and prayer, encouraging members to honor God in every area of life— work, leisure, home, and school. The church embraces a mission to bring God’s transforming presence to the community, region, and world through compassionate ministries, local outreach, church planting, and global missions. Consequently, church members volunteer with many para-church ministries in the community.

Trinity is committed to building an authentic, caring community where all people matter and can find support on their spiritual journey. A recent congregation-wide visioning process highlighted a shared desire for thoughtful growth while holding fast to core values. Members expressed interest in deeper spiritual development, more intentional outreach, and stronger intergenerational fellowship. There is also a call for more transparent leadership, updated worship practices, and improved communication. A particular focus is engaging and retaining younger generations while remaining faithful to biblical principles.

  • Be a loving pastor who empathetically cares for people during trials and transitions in life with the compassion of Christ.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Preaching —the Lead Pastor is responsible for preaching and will do so in a manner that is both biblical and relevant.

EXPECTATIONS:
